Various Artists - Holland-Dozier-Holland: Hot Wax Singles

Immerse yourself in the vibrant sounds of soul and R&B with HOLLAND-DOZIER-HOLLAND: HOT WAX SINGLES, a definitive collection that captures the essence of this legendary label founded in 1968 by the iconic songwriting duo.

Hot Wax Records emerged after Holland-Dozier-Holland’s departure from Motown, showcasing an innovative sound that maintained the soulful heart while exploring bolder grooves. Notable tracks like “Want Ads” by Honey Cone and Laura Lee's powerful “Crumbs Off The Table” exemplify the label's knack for coupling pop sensibility with deeper themes, while “Somebody's Been Sleeping In My Bed” by 100 Proof (Aged In Soul) brings the funky heat that defined the early ‘70s essence of R&B.

This vinyl edition not only compiles these signature hits but also features in-depth liner notes by music historian Stuart Cosgrove, enriching your listening experience with context and storytelling. Perfect for collectors and fans of genuine soul music, this release invites you to celebrate the legacy of a label that remains a cornerstone of R&B history and sound. Plug this black beauty into your turntable, and let the soulful melodies wash over you!
